Keb, a manufacturer of high-end drive and control technology, provides the compact, highly dynamic Combivert F5-A servo controller for Powerlink networks which ensures high positioning accuracy.
Connection to the control level is ensured by plug-in interface modules which enable integration into Powerlink and CANopen networks as well as nine further standard Ethernet-based fieldbus systems.
Suitable for universal operation with servo, asynchronous and special motors, the drive controllers are available for 1/3 phase supply voltages from 200 to 240 V AC at 50/60Hz and 3-phase supply voltages from 380 to 460 V AC at 50/60 Hz. Optionally, DC voltages can be connected as well.
Combivert F5-A servo controllers feature an integrated brake transistor, a motor temperature input and plug-in terminal blocks for control signals, power input and motor output. Standard equipment also includes a ±10 V voltage differential input, an external 24 V supply and an encoder interface with an RJ45 socket which connects resolvers up to 16 Bit or switchable incremental encoders.
Available for operating synchronous motors without feedback, the Combivert F5.E_A version comes with a software-based motor model which replaces encoder systems, thus rendering additional wiring between the encoder system and the drive unnecessary. Just like the F5.A_A version, this model supports the additional operating modes ‘closed loop asynchronous operation with incremental encoder’ and ‘open loop three-phase drive with KEB SMM’.
All controller types provide 125 µs reaction times for current control and 250 µs reaction times for speed control.
Analogue setpoint values are resolved with a 10 Bit accuracy plus a positive or negative sign. Analogue and digital inputs and outputs are sampled at 1ms intervals. Eight parameter sets, 32 positions and eight positioning profiles can be stored and recalled later. The CP menu provides a programmable user interface which allows users to enter up to 63 parameters.
